An article on Thursday about an investigation into a possible misappropriation of funds at a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics described incorrectly the 2008 conviction of Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung Electronics. He was convicted of inheriting money from his father in a way that avoided taxes, not for money his son, Lee Jae-yong, inherited. The article also misspelled the name of Lee Kun-hee’s father. He was Lee Byung-chull, not Lee Byung-chul. In addition, the article also misstated the reason for Lee Jae-yong’s conviction earlier this year. It was for bribing South Korea’s former president, not for bribing multiple government officials. And the article misstated Lee Jae-yong’s title at Samsung Electronics. He is vice chairman, not deputy chairman.
